I found http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/, so I'm reasonably confident that
I can get wireless to work, even though I haven't (yet) got the machine to
boot from flash. (My NIC is "Network Controller: Intel Corp.
PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)".) Now, does anyone
know what I can use to shrink hda1? Would Ghost do? I have Ghost. I
most likely will back up the hard drive (compressed) to a server on the
network (it's a 30 GB HD, but hda1 takes up 25 GB; the other 5 GB is IBM's
'restore' area).
